Hello Everyone!

We have developed an app that we feel needs to be tested on more devices and in multiple real world environments. For that, we have come asking for Beta Testers! We have tested this app internally for a few weeks, but we are not ready to release it to the Market quite yet. We are offering the beta version for free for people who are willing to give us constructive feedback about our app if they run into any problems or concerns with it. Here's a bit more about it:

About Ambient Volume:
=====================
Wouldn't it be nice if your phone just knew how loud or quiet it needed to be? That's what this app does for you.
Let's say you're in a semi-formal business meeting, and it's quiet while a speaker is giving a presentation. Your phone goes off, ringing in all of its loud glory and disrupts the meeting entirely. Embarrassed, you turn it down. After the meeting, you go to a club, party or a sports event where it's noisy. Your best friend calls you to tell you something really important, and your phone starts ringing quietly in your pocket; you miss the call. But not with the Ambient Volume app. It automatically adjusts the ringtone volume down in quiet environments and up in noisy ones, so that these situations can be avoided.

Features:
=========
- Automatically adjusts the ringtone volume based on the ambient noise around the phone
- Allows user to define Maximum and Minimum volumes
- Allows user to select a specific 'Loud' ringtone
- Allows user to activate Silent Mode for a user-defined length of time
- Allows user to manually adjust volume, then resume operation automatically after a user-defined length of time

Possible Things To Look For (BETA):
===================================
Here are some suggested things to look for during the beta stage:

- If it seems to be working as expected
- Volume/noise ratios accurate
- Significant processor usage, ie. slows the phone down
- Interferes with phone calls
- Crashes other apps
- 'Loud' ringtone operating correctly. It should only be active in really, REALY loud places
- Excessive battery drainage
- Facebook. There may be an issue with the app interfereing with posting a status using the facebook widget. Widget reports "Post Failed" when it doesn't. May have been a problem with the widget itself though.
- Random shut-downs after long periods of time (a day or so)
- Interfering with games



EDIT: Thanks to everyone who showed interest in the app! We have now taken down the beta test apk file, in order to work on the final development stage.

I think I'm definitely going to download and try this when I get home from work. I miss so many calls in my home due to I always having the volume really low for my office.
